On August 4, the aggressor announced an alleged “sea attack on Novorossiysk”, which allegedly “did not lead to damage”, but at the same time, an “insider” was spread through a number of media that, allegedly, as part of a certain “attack”, certain surface structures of the Caspian Oil Consortium were damaged.
However, the consortium further denied the fact of the damage and at the same time distributed a number of videos on social networks showing the aggressor towing its large landing ship in the Novorossiysk Bay.
At the same time, it is indicated that this ship is probably the “Olenegorsky Gornyak” (“Olenegorsk Miner”), transferred by the aggressor to the Black Sea Fleet in preparation for a large-scale invasion of Ukraine and now, among other things, she was involved in the illegal Kerch crossing.
For several hours, the aggressor did not comment on the obvious “extraordinary situation” in any way, except for the reaction of another stream of threats from the criminal “adviser” of Sergei Aksyonov, Oleg Kryuchkov, to the people who posted the video with the ship tilted and towed.
